As a Year 3 student in the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (Global Entertainment) programme at Hong Kong Baptist University, I have enjoyed a fulfilling and vibrant campus life.
In my academic studies, we frequently analyse real-world business cases from the film, television, and music industries, while also taking part in the planning and delivery of practical projects. This integration of theory and practice has enabled me to gain industry-related experience in advance and strengthen my ability to adapt to the wider professional environment.
Beyond the classroom, I actively participate in a variety of campus activities. Whether attending formal High Table Dinners or engaging with international students from around the world, these experiences have broadened my cultural horizons and expanded my personal network.
My time at HKBU has provided me with both solid professional training and a rich extracurricular experience. This balanced and rewarding journey continues to support my personal growth and prepare me for the future.
